I believe you could but you would need to purchase tubing that fits the pump and is long enough to go into gas tank.

Buy longer tubing. What is supplied is good for a lawn mower/snow lower into a gas can. An automobile is going to need longer tubing.

No I would not. Terribly slow moves a couple ounces of fluid with each pump. It does not create a vacumn to give you a steady stream. Pump ceased to operate and leaked, Really useless piece of junk made overseas!

You can certainly try, but I could barely get gas out of a lawnmower. I threw this thing away a long time ago. Product is a good idea, but the hoses just collapsed when suction was applied.

Buy 10 foot vinyl pipe at Home Depot. Put that piping into the liquid and put pump on the other end. Pull the pump a few times to start the flow, then quickly remove the pump before the liquid gets to pump. Of course siphoning requires that the liquid is being moved to a lower spot. You can't siphon uphill. This method will cause siphoning action to begin then there is no need for any more pumping. IRead More

I also could not get it to siphon. I believe whomever named this item, does not know what a siphon is. This item is simply a pump, not a pump started siphon.

It doesn't siphon. You have to keep pumping, but you would be better off if you replaced the orange hose with clear vinyl hose that you can buy at Home Depot.

I'd put a little oil in there to lubricate the pump. Also, make sure you have the correct end inserted into the liquid you wish to pump.

Just bought one, and I can understand from reading the reviews that spraying the oil into it is pretty much key to making it work properly. On the unit it says; "Oil- spray light oil into barrel at top nozzle when dry". So someone mentioned cooking spray but what would be the manufacturer recommendation for ideal type of oil to spray in there to ensure long life and top performance of the pump?

Hello - regular use of the siphon pump will help keep it lubricated. in the event you do need to lubricate it, any spray lubricants will work fine. Thank you for your question.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by TJ Arnold siphon pump kit is amazing! No more propping up the mower body to drain oil from the underside.
It was so quick and easy. Will definitely buy another as backup.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ljspags WORKED GREAT, BUT
This Siphon pumped worked well, but one thing I didn't like was that it was almost impossible to keep the hose straight while siphoning out the gas tank on my motorcycle. Once the level of gas drops and the tip of the hose is sucking air because the hose coils it useless. I found a hard plastic tube to stick into the end of the siphon hose to keep it straight and it worked well. It was sort of like a hard plastic straw that was at least 12 inches long. I only left about 3 inches outside the hose to be my siphon tip.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by TallPaul Meh
I think the product description is inaccurate for the product. When I think of a siphon pump, it should be something that pumps to get the flow of liquid going and should then be able to sit back and let gravity do the work. This item is not that, it is only a pump. This left me pumping 27 gallons of diesel fuel about a cup and a half at a time.
If you want to physically pump liquid, this product is for you. If you want siphoning to do the work, this is not for you.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Joseph it worked
I followed a previous reviewer's recommendation of purchasing clear vinyl tubing from Home Depot before I even went to the register (thanks for that). The tubing that comes with it won't show if you're just sucking air or not. Unfortunately, the tubing fits inside of the inlet & outlet ports instead of around them, so you cannot use a standard hose clamp to get a better seal.
It worked well enough out of the box to pump gasoline out of my snow blower for the hot season. The hard part was getting the tip of the hose to stay in the gasoline because the tubing was curled up in the packaging and wanted to stay curled. I put the tubes in a long pipe to try and straighten them out for a few days before I attempt to remove the rest of the gasoline from the tank.
Oh yea, it's not a siphon- it's a pump. You have to keep pumping the plunger in order to move the liquid.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by DiYer A Piece of Garbage
I would give it a "0" rating but that isn't an option. I followed the instructions and lubed it with vegetable oil when finished. I used it a total of "3" times before it stopped working. That equates to $4.00 a siphon. I actually say a youtube video where a guy made a siphon with two pieces of hose. One goes in the tank and the short piece of hose also just goes into the top of the tank. I put rag around the top of the tank and blew into the short piece of hose, hence pressurizing that tank and forcing the gas out of the other hose. I am going to try it as it looks simple, like it will work, cheap, and never break. Again, don't waste your money on this piece of garbage.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Bill This is one of the niftiest tools ever!
I have two lawn tractors, two self-propelled walk behinds, and a tiller. I had to take the engine off the tiller (reassembly was a bear) and take the underside shroud off one of the walk behinds to change oil. Well, I searched and found this nifty tool here at Home Depot. It works fast and efficiently. It's a good idea to warm up the engine a little before siphoning out the old oil. Although it has a thin tube to fit into the dipstick tube, the regular sized tube went all the way in to the bottom of the oil sump in both B & S engines! If you can have your machine's sump a little higher than the drain pan, one pump usually starts the siphoning and keeping the pump below the sump level allows the oil to drain right out. This tool will work on all petroleum products including gasoline!
